BBC Tech As Advert, OGWT and WIS

from Les Thorn

Les has been digging around in his archives, and found the ad that set him on a glorious career

And this was taken in TC5 in the Whistle Test years, with “whispering” Bob Harris, and Mike Harrison on the camera

from Roger Brunskill

A WIS – weekly information sheet – which informs us that Roger, amongst others, is to be taken off the crew system and made a Grade C Vision Mixer. Grade C in those days was good stuff, and meant that you’d risen above the poverty line.

You have to wonder why this issue “cancels issue 17”, and whether people went immediately to their 1961 shredders with the offending item.
